Doc Walker interviews VC and Jim Z about Draft

At the end of that interview, you will have been bathed in a torrent of words and only a small fraction of them will be "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth". That includes the bloviating from Doc Walker.

Everyone is going to say hugely positive things about EVERY potential draft pick and about the EACH AND EVERY ONE of the current players on the squad.

NO ONE is going to ask or answer how it was that the Redskins got on-field productivity from only ONE of the supremely talented and dedicated athletes that they drafted last season.

NO ONE is going to talk about the collapse of the OL for the second half of last season and why anyone should think that those same players are going to be studs this year.

All will be good; you will hear a story of the world as seen through burgundy and gold colored glasses...

I'm pretty sure most if not all of that was asked and to an extent answered the last time Vinny had an interview with Doc

Smootsmack:

You are absolutely correct; everything has been asked and answered. And there is yet to be real clarity around many points.

Tune in everyone; WTEM can use the ratings points. But if you think that there is truth and wisdom to be revealed there, you will be sadly disappointed...

who really cares anyways, just ignore all of friday and hope for the best on saturday lol

Agreed!

I don't know how many times I've pointed out that several other teams with well respected front office executives go for BPA as well. But to your point, BPA within need. I think Newsome said as you get into the later round that's when you focus on need before BPA (not positive on that though)

Good point about the eye for talent. I think one big problem that we overlook is that our coaching turnover the past decade, which have generally been large philosophical differences (Marty to Spurrier to Gibbs to Zorn) don't allow our scouts the opportunity to properly evaluate the talent out there during the college football season. Imagine you're a scout in 2001 and you're combing the country looking for bruising backs and big tough WRs who can get the key yards in traffic to fit Schottenheimer's...then suddenly it's January and Spurrier's the new head coach and now you're tasked with finding scatbacks and speedsters to play in the Fun 'n Gun. And the draft is just three months away. All the work you put in during the season is almost pointless.


I was going to bring that up as well. I feel bad for our scouts in that regard. You're grading talent, finding the right guys for a system and no more than a couple years it's all different. I mean if it's really a thing of coaching, find someone in a similar system or something that your GM (well.. kinda) and personnel people think that your players could operate in, unless it's really that hotshot coach that you HAVE to get.

I think you must have broken some Warpath record for longest post with this one (I didn't post the whole thing). :laughing2

congrats for getting through that, I fell asleep

Heh, the most likely scenario.

We have a lot of guys that in the next 2-3 years are going to be gone/not needed I think. daniels, wynn, smoot, several on the line, possibly portis, maybe betts and rock, possibly moss and are, etc .. if we don't get this sorted out in that time we could be looking at being happy to go 9-7 and looking at much worse, not to act all doomsday
